Salsaboy mentioned that U2 are in his top 3 on another thread, so thought I'd start a thread.


Obviously all very subjective so let's not argue, just wondering who people consider overrated.



I'll open with the bleeding obvious.


Coldplay.


PS. I'm not what you'd call a U2 fan, only own one album which a mate inexplicably got me for Christmas years ago. Think they've produced some utter shit.


But, I think they've produced a few really great songs.

Reading that old thread is interesting. I said the Pixies and Nirvana.


Giggirl (Gawd bless 'er) gave me some tickets to check The Pixies out at Brixton, and I had a great time and really enjoyed the gig, and then I downloaded loads of their stuff, and now it gets skipped if it ever comes on my ipod.


Similar to "The Boss", the wife and I saw him live last summer (or was it the one before) and it was good fun, but when a song comes on it tends to get skipped.


But agree with *bob* on that last thread I guess. Who are any of us to say something is "overrated"? Ig millions of people have bought an album and you dislike it, who are you to tell those millions that they are wrong.


I admit that for me it's far too much about personality.


Chris Martin = twat = Coldplay are shit.


Artic Monkeys = twats = They're shit.






Radiohead were just shit though.

I am but a delicate flower.


Jere comes your man is a wonderful tune, as are a few others, but I dunno...

Look no further than Genesis, U2, Coldplay and Stone Roses. All have front-men who are bell-ends, perhaps my choices are driven by this one commonality, that said, there are probably plenty bands lead by of bell-ends out there I do like though can't think of any right now.

    • We’ve just done a loft extension and needed it all painted as well as touch ups to the rest of the house. Our experience with Hussein and his team was great. Communication good, they turned up on time every day, and completed the job in the time frame initially stated. The finished job looks great, I would definitely recommend.
    • Sue, we are in a similar position - though not quite as ancient as you! 🤣 Ours is a 21 year old Honda Civic.  Reliable as hell, IS ULEZ compliant, passes all the tests, MOTS etc.  BUT, as it sits on the drive most of the time, is now as dead as a doornail to the extent that we can no longer open it with the fob, though we are able to open the passenger door only, with the key.  Jump leads didn't work, so hubby bought a "starter" similar to what breakdown companies use.  Nowt.  Hubby then called out the AA who were able to start it via their van.  However, the AA advised leaving the car running for at least an hour and a half.  We decided not to do that as the fumes would be unpleasant for us and our neighbours.  They also informed us that unless we replaced the battery, we would not be able to call them out again.  Long story short, once we turned the engine off it wouldn't re-start.  So, hubby has now bought a trickle charger from Argos (roughly £35 and AA approved).  Apparently it could take up to 100 hours to charge and given that we don't want to leave it charging overnight or in the rain, it will be a while before we will know whether this has solved the issue.  So, watch this space! I am hoping this £35 will be a good investment.
